S. BEGINS TO CALL
NEW NATIONAL ARMY
WASHINGTON. July 30.
America began calling out men for her
new national army today. AH over the
country prospective Sammces are at atten
tion. The nation's capital, ono of tho first to
be ready, called Its Initial group for exam
ination at 9 a, m. The response was with
out hesitation, and authorities, while on
tho lookout for slackers, anticipated virtu
ally no shirking.
Other eastern cities also had their first
calls.
In other parts of the country examina
tions will start as soon as local boards
get their official lists checked up and their
notices mailed. By the end of the week
this Btep should be accomplished all over
the land.
As men came up for physical examina
tion, early reports Indicated a heavier per
centage than anticipated will result from
the tests.
As a result, exemption boards have been
instructed to be especially careful as to
freeing men on claims. Each case must
be carefully examined and there must be
no favoritism.
There had ben changes, however. In tho
general plan of exempting those with de
pendent families or thoBe Indispensable to
Industries vital to prosecution of the war.
Aa matters now stand, it Is doubtful
whether the first army will be encamped
before October 1, Inasmuch as cantonment
construction-started so late that It Is almost
impossible to have things ready before that
date.

Mon from week to week of some of the
largest Industrial plants In the world h
weaving an unprecedented web of municipal
progress.
Joseph B. McCall, president of the Phlla
do'phla Hleptrlc Company, holds the reins
of this Immense constructive business, for
his company has taken over the property
and business of nil the electric light, heat
and power companies In this wide area.
He Is building one of tho largest and most
modern power plants In the world at South
Chester, on the Delaware, at a cost of
$3,000,000, and when It Is completed Is go
ing to set up within it $11,000,000 worth of
the very latebt electrical equipment.
The future of Industrial business nnd
demand for electrical power therefrom ap
pears 30 assured to Mr McCall that ho
plans to duplicate this $14,000,000 Invest
ment on the Philadelphia end A high
power transmission line, carrying 90,000
horsepower, erected at a cost of $300,000
and stretching from the Philadelphia power
house, at Twenty-sixth and Christian
streets, to the Beacon light plant, nt Sec
ond and Market strets, In Chester, will be
In operation In about a month.
The American Railways Company, which
exclusively seres about 100 miles of the
Delaware Rier front, forty on the Dela
ware and sixty on tho New Jersey side, has
Just started up a new 10,000-kllowatt
power unit, In preparation for the demand
for power In Its territory. It has a dupli
cate ordered for delivery at the earliest
possible moment, nhtcli, when added to the
present capacity, will make available ap
proximately 50,000 kilowatts of electricity.
And tho company Is prepared, according to
Its general manager, J. L. Crawley, to add
new steam turbine and generating units as
rapidly as the Industrial development Justi
fies It In going ahead.
This company Is now erecting circuits to
sero the new Industrial section. It al
ready haB on Its books the Vacuum Oil
Company, now hulhllng a large modern oil
refinery; Worth Brothers Company, Harlan
& Holllngsworth, Betts Machine Company,
I'lectrlo Hoso and Rubber Company,
Pyrites Ore Company, Pusoy & Jones,
American Car and Foundry Company, I.
P. Thomas & Son Company and tho E. I
du Pont de Nemours Company.
The list of customera drawing power from
the Philadelphia Electric Company Includes
the American Viscose Company, American
Steel Company, Aberfoyle Manufacturing
Company, Fayette Manufacturing Com
pany, the Western Electric Company, tho
Sun and the Chester Shipbuilding compa
nies, Baldwin Locomotive Works, Reming
ton Arms and Eddystone ammunition plants,
General Chemical Company, Trainer Spin

Congoleum Company, Delaware River Steel
Company, Keystone Plaster Company, Fed
eral Steel Casting Company, Bloomlngdnle
Rubber Company, Philadelphia Quartz Com
pany, Penn Steel Casting Company, River
side Machine Company, Chester Paper Com
pany and the Consumers' Ice Company,
These great Industrial works and in
numerable smaller machine plants are
already making the turbines In the power
house spin at their maximum velocity, but
when the gigantic new shipbuilding plants,
Including the 900-acre tract of the Govern
ment on Hog Island and along Bow Creek,
the tremedous development of the Westing
house corporation within a few miles of tho
Federal plant and other large power-using
struct add their demand for electricity the
concerns either building or preparing to con
grand total will run into thousands ot kilo
watts every hour of the day, well lrto the
night and In some cases, of course, all night.
The Westlnghouse plant alone. It Is esti
mated, will use upward of 3000 kilowatts
per hour when In full running trim. The
needs of the new Government shipyard are
at present an Indefinite .quatlty to the Elec
tric Compay, but it is said they will at
leant equal those of the Westlnghouse
project.
Mr. McCall Is not anxious about the fu
ture business situation after the war. While
he realizes that the abnormal Industrial
growth at present arises from war con
ditions, he Is confident that much of that
new development will continue under the
constructive demands of peace circum
stances and that the nature of the busi
ness now contracting for current demands
will enable the company to "bridge the
gap" while tha country adjusts Itself at
that time. He adds that the company would
not engage In such a huge Investment un
less Jt was certain that this great era of
industrial expansion will continue In the
year to coma,, 4 r -

far as the Remington Arms plant It Is of
tlio three-phase system, carrying GG.000
volts between the middle and outside wires,
oer strucural steel towers ranging in
height from 110 to 75 feet for the most
part, but reaching more than 200 feet along
the Schuylkill River. The route lies along
Iho roadbed of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway most of the fifteen milea be
tween the two terminals.
The aerago span between towers Is 475
feet. Seen hundred nnd rlxty-nlne tons of
steel nro being used In the towers, and
12,120 porcelain Insulators, each one tested
to a load of 200,000 olts The wires are
suspended by groups of ncer Icbs than six
and upward of ten Insulators.
The commercial circuits of the company
on vMch the power is transmitted to the
various plants carry only 2400 volts. This
tvltnge, for Instance, supplies 20,000 horse
power to the Remington Arms and Eddy
stone plants together, 10,000 to tho Viscose
plant and G000 to tho Chester shipyards, In
cluding the new development.
Tho new power station In South Chester,
at Front nnd Ward streets, will he the
largest electrical plant In the country, ac
cording to the company engineers. The
first unit, a 30,000-kllowatt turbine, will bo
set up on tho present foundations and In
operation by January. 1918, a temporary
housing being built until the permanent
superstructure Is completed. Tho total ca
pacity of 120.000 kilowatts will bo i,upplled
by three additional steam-driven dynamos
similar to the Initial unit
The modern concrete building that will
houso this $11,000,000 equipment, ns de
s'gned by John T Wlndrlm, tho noted
Philadelphia architect, will Include tho
boiler house, with n river frontage of 195
feet and reaching back 266 feet ; turbine
hall, 400 feet by 200 feet, and a switch
house, with tho necessary offices nnd rest
rooms. The distance from tho surfaco of
tho pier to the cornice will be ninety-six
feet, tho windows will be twenty-four feet
wide and soenty-flvo feet high, admitting
maximum light on all sides
All the tons upon tons of coal that will
bo used at this station will come In by
barges, be unloaded by mechanical convey
ors, go direct from the towers to tho boll
era and be mechanically fed to the fires
without hands touching It at any time. The
ashes will be removed entirely by mechani
cal means lvto barges lying In the canal at
the other side of the pier.
WAR DRAFT BOWL WILL
BE BROUGHT BY DONOR
Charles B. Morris Consents
Deposit It in Independ
ence Hall
to
Mayor Smith today receled a letter from
Charles II Morris, of the Proost Marshal
cneral's ofllec at Washington, who has had
possession of the glas bowl from which the
10,500 numbers for the draft were drawn
consenting to send the bowl to Philadelphia.
It will bo deposited In Independence Hall.
In his letter, Mr Morris said;
Permit me to thank you for tho honor
you have conferred by requesting the
deposit In historic old Independence Hall
of this relic which happened to be mine.
I had hoped to have the pleasure ot keep
ing It as a memento of n most wonder
ful occasion, ono which I took a very
active part In and tho mechanical fea
tures of which I was the originator How
ever, I realize that to hoard It away In
my home would be selfish, and I shall
send, or bring, with tho bowl the wooden
ladel with which the capsules were Btlrred
and shall have mounted on a card tho
first eight numbers drawn and the last
one out ot the bowl,, I had also thought
to have tho bottom of the bowl filled
partly with dummy capsules to show how
they appeared What do jou think of
this latter schomo, or would It be better
to have the bowl empty?
As to tho Inscription, you may do what
ccr Is customory. It will be an honor,
of course, to have my nanio mentioned as
tho donor, nnd It might not be Improper
to mention that the schemo of Inclosing
the numbers In the capsules and drawing
from the glass bowl originated with mo,
as that fact Is recognized by Clenoral
Crowder and others.
I hopo to bring the rcl'.c to Philadelnhla
personally as soon as work hero will
permit. In the meantime 1 am giving
the people of this city an opportunity of
seeing It.
Draft Revision Likely,
. Woodruff Believes
Contlnurd from I'ago Ono
young men Into tho national service will be
brought out this afternoon when tho exemp
tion boards meet In Common Pleas Court
Ko. 3.
At this meeting Major Charles B. Warren,
Judge Advocate, officers' reserve corps, and
other army oltlclals from Washington will be
asked to explain how Philadelphia's quota
was fixed.
"It Is very apparent," said Mr. Cattell,
"that our quota for the city Is too high.
To begin with, thousands of aliens were
permitted to register and considered cllgl
ble for the national service when everybody
In Washington was aware that not one of
the aliens could be drafted, Philadelphia's
quota was fixed on the basis of expanded
population and tho Government's estimates
concerning the city's population were based
upon the national service registration. Now,
If every man registered had proved to be
eligible for service, the city's quota could
have been fixed In the manner devised by
the War Department. Instead of that wa
have thousands of aliens who must be
stricken from the draft list, and as a result'
tho city's quota has been boosted. v For ex
ample I will cite one district which has
eighty aliens and twenty citizens. Assum
ing that the quota of that district has been
fixed at ten It means that 60 per cent of
the ellglbles must be drafted. Now, If the
aliens had not been registered the quota
for this particular district would have been
fixed on the basis ot its real eligible list
and naturally would have been much
smaller,
"This is the condition that we find in the
cities like Philadelphia, where big foreign
colonies are the rule. In most sections,
where the number ot aliens Is small, there
Is little cause for complaint. For Instance,
a town which has registered 100 men will
And little fault If ten aliens must be elim
inated, for If the town's quota is ten, it
has ninety men to draw from. In a word,
that rural community will send just one
out of every nine of its young men to war,
Where the city district will send one out of
every two.
By considering the cy' vast population

Broad and Filbert streets, oppo-dto City
Hall. It rose to dough before S o'clock, was
browning In an army oven at 10, and before
noon was undergoing tho mysterious trans
formation Into tho thought-power that rules
more than ono nnd a half million people.
It wai Mayor Smith who munched It;
nnd he said It was good. Ho was supposed
to have gone direct to tho oven and pulled
the loaf out for himself, but the weight of
city affairs kept him In his office. So E.
J, Cattell, city Mntlstlclan, went across the
way nnd shed some perspiration nnd pulled
tho Mayor's six loaves out of the oven for
him. The thermometer registered 700 de
grees Fahrenheit, so Mr. Cattell says.
If the Mayor got a pain from eating
fresh bread he didn't say so. The army
regulations won't permit an enlisted man
to cat bread until It has been twenty-four
hours out of tho oven.
Tho army bakery company Is supplying
bread for tho Second IVnnsylvnnla Field
Artillery at the Jenklntown camp, and It
will Bupply all other local units when they
get Into camp.
The chief purposes of pitching camp ncir
rity Hall Is to recruit bakers for tho army.
Captain Frank M. Mueller will recruit his
company to 101 men and recruit enough to
form another bakery company.
The requirements for bakers are oven
more strict than for the ranks of the army.
Only perfect men nro taken. It Is not
necessary than men bo bakers or cooks, ns
Captain Mueller will soon train them to
bake.
A full company of bakers with fifteen
ovens can turn out 40,000 loaves a day. It
will use five carloads of flour a week and
about the same umount of firewood.
Rules for the bnken nro strict. A
shower both must be takon before and
after a man goes on his "shift " Finger
nails must bo trimmed close and clean,
nnd clean rlothlng used.

CALLS FOR HALT
OF WATER WASTE'
Chief Davis Estimates Need
less Daily Loss at
50,000,000 Gallons
CITY FACILITIES STRAINED
Fully 60,000,000 gallons of water art
being wasted In Philadelphia every twenty
four hours, according to a statement made
today by Chief Carleton E. Davis, of the
Water Bureau. Ho called upon the rs.
dents and the proprietors of manufactur
lng establishments to conserve the supply.
Chief Davis declared that because of tha
extraordinary demands that the hct weather
Is causing to bo made on the supply, ln
many districts where, the pressure ordina
rily Is low tho bureau Is unable now to
force tho water above tho second floors of
homes and factories.
There Is plenty of water In the Delaware
nnd Schuylkill Rivers, he said, but he added
that before tho heavy demands were made
on the supply the city has had difficulty
In maintaining an ordinary supply, because
the water equipment Is such that the city
rtinnot pump, filter and deliver the water
fast enough.
"I believe that fully 60,000,000 gallons
of filtered water Is allowed to run to waste
every twenty-four hours In Philadelphia,"
said Chief Davis. "This Is not necessary,
and If the waste Is prevented this amount
of water could be available for use in sec
tions which are not receiving 4. full supply.
Wo receive from seventy-five to one hundred
complaints every day of householders al
lowing their hydrants to run continuously.
"In addition to this, there are more than
100,000 defective and leaky appliances In
dwellings and factory buildings throughout
tho city, nnd unless these conditions are
remedied the waste will continue.
"A considerable amount of the enormous
waste Is due to the action of people turning
tho water on from the fireplugs and allow
ing tho water to run for an hour or two at
a time. The uso of the fireplugs except for
flro purposes Is prohibited by law. In two
Instances last week tho sudden turning off
of tho water after It had been used for this
purpose cnuscd two breaks to occur In the
mains In the northeastern section."
